The Hotel on Mulberry Bay

By: Melissa Hill

Narrated by: Gemma Carfi

Mulberry Hotel, perched on a clifftop above a sweeping bay, was once the heart and soul of pretty seaside town Mulberry Bay. Run by the Harte family for years, the place itself is almost as beloved as cheery landlady Anna.

The hotel was also once home to 30-something sisters Eleanor and Penny, and while youngest sister Penny still lives close by, it's been some time since Elle has visited. But following a family tragedy, Elle is forced to return from her busy London life and reassess her past.

When it becomes apparent that the hotel is in dire straits, Elle and Penny are unprepared for the reaction of their father, Ned, who steadfastly refuses to give up the family legacy, revealing that he's given up something equally precious once before. Startled by their father's surprising revelation, the sisters unite, with the local community behind them, in their efforts to save the hotel—and, in the process, heal the fractures in the Harte family.

Critic reviews

"The Hotel on Mulberry Bay serves up a mouthwatering slice of escapism, an idyllic world where the pace of life is slower and everyone cares about each other. Let's face it; isn't that what most of us want?" (The Bookbag)
